SD card problem

I have a 8GB kodak SD card on my atrix which I formatted on my computer before mounting to my phone. All contents like music and pictures are read by the apps but it seem like everytime I save something to the SD card the app, would say successfully saved/backup to your SD card but it gets save to the phone internal storage. It does it with everything, like when I first started using the camera/video it says it detected the SD card and asked if I would like it to be the default storage and I said yes, but everytime I take pictures it would go to internal storage, same with Launcher backup, saying backup successfully saved to SD but not. Even if I moved the file to SD ( hoping that maybe the app would see it there and divert) It would just create a new folder on internal storage and keeps writing it there. Any help would be appreciated.

And by the way, I am a silent fan of this forum, and I do love my Atrix, coming from a phone I thought was already the best phone in the world, My former love, Nexus One.

Maybe a stupid question, but have you verified you do in fact have the phone set to use the SD card as default storage? Only reason I ask is I did the same thing, i.e., chose to use SD card as default when prompted, but when I go into settings and look under SD card & phone storage, it still say internal storage is set as the default. Just a thought.

Now, correct me if i'm wrong, under SD card and phone storage settings the header on the storage phone location says Window Media Sync, so I am assuming that it only works when syncing with the PC ( Although I always have that set to SD card since I got the phone) but is that the button for setting storage for apps? Because in the Nexus One you go under Application settings then storage.

I have seen posted elsewhere that this is an issue in the software from Moto. One of the "ROMs" from XDA included an option to change the whole phone's default storage option, but it's not that way on the stock phone yet. Hopefully after the next update?
